and this one, too, i guess, tho' i'm sure i'm priced out on bumping it up, and it's not a particular favorite of mine [tho' i recognize the importance...].

all my recent tries were blown out the water, and that applied equally to a church fantastic 8

That was a very pretty copy!

well done, spyder.  the books you grabbed ain't easy to get, and the grabbin' is gettin' harder, in my experience.  i'm now about a year removed from the last upgrade for my little fox run thru 7/40.   just about resigned to the notion of the group staying "as-is."  all my recent tries were blown out the water, and that applied equally to a church fantastic 8 and a mid-grade improvement on fantastic 7.   and those aren't even lou books [tho' i'm very fond of the joe books, as well].

here are the wonderworlds i'd like to post for sale in the market should nicer copies find their way to cajun country.

since said church fantastic 8 was won by a friend, my underbidder status has me only disliking him now, as opposed to abject loathing.

In that case, I hope you can upgrade so that I can see these for sale on the boards!

This one just arrived yesterday. Has to be my second favorite cover of the run.  Another great one by Mr. Fine.

From a bound volume, 3 holes through the book and trimmed edges, but still looks nice

Any boardie here the lucky seller of this later HTF issue of Mystery Men 27 which sold on CL in the Wednesday portion of their Featured Auction:  

https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FSEARCH.ASP%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3Dmystery%2Bmen%26ItemType%3DCB%26CGC%3DYES%26CBCS%3DYES%23Item_1455846&id=1455846&itemType=0

Sold for a very strong $8,099 final price, especially considering that the Church highest graded CGC 8.0 copy sold for just a bit more at $10.8K in a Heritage Auction only a few short months ago.

Was anybody here going after this lot recently? Unfortunately the back cover for the GM 6 is gone but still happy.

With Fox books getting ever more expensive, I have started picking up some pieces when I can.  But somehow I managed ti find a cover and insides (at least most of) for a Science Comics 6, each selling separately the same week on eBay and won both auctions.  What are the odds?!?  I think they married up pretty well, and the Joe Simon cover looks pretty sharp!

Another top-shelf issue!!! At this rate, you'll have the full run by Easter!

Had to share this awesome panel from Wonderworld 8, in keeping with the cover theme:
